I have had one of those lovely inner tubes as well. I hit 40 and it is like shit changed overnight. I now live and die by the Abs Diet for Women. Not a diet, really, a way of changing the way you are eating without a ton of effort. End result, inner tube came off and has stayed off. And, animal print!

I believe I would wear every single suit you posted here! Every. One. And by the by, do not let something as inconsequential as a teeny-tiny muffin top deter you from donning a spectacular swimsuit and sashaying poolside. I don't. I always figure that if my appearance offends, people are free to avert their eyes in horror and look somewhere else! Thank you for a lovely summer swimsuit post :)
